Favorite Thing About SEO:

What's the point in driving traffic to a site if your message is wrong - my favourite thing is to get it to convert well, tweak headings. Conversion first, SEO second. Traffic is just traffic. A webpage needs to sell.

Bio:

I'm 25 and currently undertaking an MA in media & communications. Before this, I worked full time in SEO/Communications. I currently have several freelance clients and I am self employed.
I have a Schnauzer named Archie and together we live in Nottingham. I love photography too.

Blog Bio:

My name is Carly and I'm really interested in anything to do with SEO, social media, social networking, online marketing, usability and relationship management/PR.

Fabulous.... I'd not seen Spezify before, but it's so helpful. I typed in a couple of topics and ended up cropping screenshots of some quotes I'd found as they look fab, they'll be going in the blog post.

Then, for another topic, I ended up finding loads of great images from Flickr too, which I went to browse...

I totally agree with what you're saying here Rand, I think you only need to take a look at the PR of Twitter accounts and this backs the theory up. My work account (which I rarely even Tweet from) is a PR5 but it is followed by some universities and other organisations.

My personal Twitter account is followed by regular Joes in the SEO world and I do Tweet regularly from it; it's a PR4.

Neither Twitter page is linked from anywhere particularly authoratitive (other than a few good followers on the work account) but both have good pageranks, which shows Google thinks they have something worth sharing with the rest of the world.

Personally, in my SEO work, I've never once bought a link and I've only ever swapped one link in my life. I don't use directories and I don't spam. I just engage in social media, communuities and groups. It works wonders on my SERP placements.
